    Of course we don’t expect it. That would require the Democrats to be something other than worthless sacks of shit (with a few vanishingly rare exceptions).

    “Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives, and we know that’s the case,” Jeffries said at a press conference Monday.

    Okay, but that is very different from not persueing an impeachment. Sometimes you do something, just to create a forum.

        Always a democrat move.

        Which was why the shutdown was such a shock, and got so much support because people were happy democrats were actually finally taking the thumbs out of their asses and doing something.

        Of course, if a democrat wont give up before beginning, they’ll always give in after starting.

    And this is why I have no faith in Democrats. When it comes time for the fundraiser they are all red alert sound the alarm Trump is destroying our country, when it comes time to actually fucking DO anything it’s excuses and business as usual.

    If the guy literally did order a war crime, then file the fucking paperwork and dare the Republicans to quash it. Make sure that every one of them who fights against this does so publicly, on the record. Make sure they know that if/when the truth comes out, be it tomorrow or years down the road, their vote today will be known to the world. And they can bet their asses that ‘senator whatever chose not to investigate war crimes’ Will be part of their opponents’ campaigns.

    The narrative here is that the people committing war crimes are also sending soldiers to your city.

    It doesn’t matter if impeachment works. It needs to be said.

    Jeffries says Democrats will disappoint you exactly as you expected they would.

      More people need to get this. Obama and Biden conducted airstrikes with the exact same expectations and the exact same “unlawful combatant” policy allowing us to ignore the Geneva conventions.

      I guarantee anyone reading this that the guy calling these strikes has done the same thing his entire career. If they want to change that policy then go for it. But don’t expect anyone to be prosecuted over doing it before that.

    Don’t worry I don’t expect Democrats to do anything even vaguely resembling vertebrate work. Just keep inching along, you worms, and get replaced by a functional, good government.

      The only way the Untied States is getting a functional government and justice system is if there’s a revolution

      While I agree many if not most need to go, when the guy was asked if they would file impeachment articles, his response was basically there is no way the Republicans are going to vote on it so their is no point. Which is true. The Republicans would see a successful impeachment of Hegseth as a fracture that would allow all Republicans to have to answer for their crimes eventually. They’ll shit on every single one of their constituents wants before they do that.

      Shit I don’t know if Johnson would even let it come to a vote

    don’t worry, nobody had or has the expectation of Democrats doing anything even remotely beneficial to the people and country. stress less.
